I Will Wait lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Say's "I can't be without her"
Tonight he's going to be without her
"It's late now", she say's
Makes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston
When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
I'll be there waiting for you
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
Standing like your soldiers
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
I will wait for you
Through the lies and all
She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him this she prays
It would make her feel so much better
I want to feel so much better
Wishing lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away your misery
It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity
[CHORUS]
Las Vegas Nights lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs
There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there
Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again
Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name
A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do
Don't go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
Don't go now, desert flower
Cause you just won't bloom
And your memories made need more room
See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone
And on my phonograph
Will she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me
A chance to make things right for her
And make my life seem true
I'm begging Do
[CHORUS]
I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
And there are shades of red dancing in view
Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer I will be a fool
A chance to make things right for her
Make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do
[CHORUS]
Only Lonely lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs
Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name
If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies
I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
'cause I'm
only lonely on the inside
didn't mean to take away your dreams
only lonely on the inside
when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts
I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do
If we should ever cross the same place at the same time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me
If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories
I believe that I could be the one your needing
And I'm
[CHORUS]
If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world
But there's so many things trying to pull us together
Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away
Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes do you see me
(in your deepest thoughts do you see me)
(when you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts do you see me)
Answer Man lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothing left of you
Time seems to change
Thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute
I say that's life
You say it's alright
I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud
I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
I'm just so sick of my mind
It sees us like a light
Shining bright
In the middle
Don't you see us smiling now
You say that's life
I say it's alright
[CHORUS]
Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never call it home
But your bound to live bound to die in it
You say that's life
I say I'll still be here
[CHORUS]
Michelle Post lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
I met a girl just the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
Then she told me something that made me sick
Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
She's got something and she wants let me in
Bluesy Revolution lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
It's almost like
We came back wet
Back from the dead
And I'm thinking of you
We traveled long
We traveled hard
To long to bear
Hard just to come through
And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do
My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true
I stumbled long
And I fell hard
We loved so strong
For all that we knew
Please hear me now
And hold your anger somehow
But why must it be me
My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing that I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
When the end is all I see
And when I wake
I sing your song
Somewhere you stir
Cause your wanting me too
Don't listen to
The others answers
Our love is not new
Home Again lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for Christmas
Could you stop to see me smile
I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard
Oh I see you in the corner of
Life's grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again
Let's all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please don't let me be
Tonight just may be our last
The bell rings to tell me
You're here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night
And I can't believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon
Hold me tightly
Like never before
You've come to say your alive
[CHORUS]
The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I don't feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where
And I say it's our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
But I'll let go to have you again
[CHORUS]
One By One lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Three
In my family say
"we've never been anywhere"
"to the left sea
can we go please
we don't care we want to
sit and stare at it"
can we try
to hold up our head
feel the power of the land that we trampled once
can we go
where you go
we know you always need us behind
it's me it's me
calling around looking for your reply
let me tell you where the story
can run to now
we came together
we will leave here one by one
let's go on and remember
where we've been
aunt Inez
from Virginia she
makes me feel like I could be president
of all I see
and all I dream
in these eyes that have held so much punishment
[CHORUS]
When she laughs
I hold up my head
She makes me feel like I could walk on water now
Can she go
Where I go
I know I'll always need her behind
[CHORUS]
Desert Mountain Showdown lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Robinn' Robin in the tree
Won't you come down here and rescue me
Cause there's someplace else I gotta see
And you can stand in for me for awhile
Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child
Love is gone but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free
Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, "boy come and walk with me
There's someplace I've got to see"
So we strolled along the mountain high
She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
I'd see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing
Lessons learned but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free
I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream
What's Going On Here lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you
Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself
Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me
And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay
What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine
I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high
All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me
[CHORUS]
Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us
Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me
Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play
[CHORUS]
What Do You Want From Me Now lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
take a little bit of everything baby
i'll be all right
don't just settle for living the lie
that I thought you might
put on your disguise
let me see that you're bigger than me
tell me that tomorrow
I'll wake and yearn for you
And when I call your name out
You leave and take a bow
You say what do want from
Call off the service now baby
No one really knew
That I would have to leave
But now I'm a better man
I thought you realized
I wanted you but
You left so suddenly
I know I promised but now I lied
And when I kiss you someday
If you feel that your aloud
You say "what do you want from me now"
Burn all your candles
Turn out the light
Forget the feeling you've been feeling
Deep inside of me we'll be alright
Now it's the morning after
And I'm doing what you said
No one answers
So I cope cause you are gone
Oh I just wanted you baby
But I have to deal cause
My heart isn't big enough
To love you even if I please
And if I need you someday
You will not make a sound
Just think what do you want from me now
Be The One lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one
(She) wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
I'll just make it out
(We don't see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(Something no ones needing)
I left the other day
But you're never here
You only listen to things you want to save
But the power it's ok with you
You knew I'd find something else to do
Let me be the one
(we don't see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you
Something no ones
See it's not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in it's ok now
Close the door
Is it really needing
When you find a place
That's only yours
Just go he beams
Well I've died for good now
Let me feel it
Let her come---let her run---let her run
(Now)
Let me be the one
(We don't see it bleeding)
I can't feel it, I can't see it
(Something no ones needing)
I feel dumb
Old Man & Me lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Well an old man said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where you going young man
Said I'm going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said "The sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize"
If you try to stare her down
She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
He said "Boy I was young once
Yeah I was tough
Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat
Hey I could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But I could not vote
But now you walk by me
You won't talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see it's you they hate
It's you...
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get there
See this woman sitting next to me
She's been there for a long, long time
And when I fell, she picked me up
When I cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god she's mine
And when I leave this world
She won't have anything
But her love for me
'Cause the man took everything else
Made me hate myself
So just let her be boy
Won't you let her be
The Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Another reason to doubt me
Another teardrop falls
Can't wait for a friend when loneliness calls
Another kiss in the basement
Pour salt on my tongue
No one cries for heros left unsung
Look at me when I'm talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why
Another tasteless movie
Another kiss goodnight
Could be a dark oasis in my life
Another icon smashed to pieces
By yesterday's romance
Another hated person no more chances
Look at me when I'm talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why
Playin' with a happy boy
A cold place for a man
Familiar faces in a foreign land
The hands kept spinning around the face
But the earth stopped cold at dawn
For a moment, then moved on
For a moment, then moved on...
Honeyscrew lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Fly inside
Feel me dealing
Holding on to a story just told
About a man who's the life of a funeral
Grabbing on to a woman who's soul
He just stole for a dream he don't believe in
Now she sits and she yells for a smile
"Don't let the sun make me feel lonely"
Oh let me in let me in let me in
Is it me
Or is it honey
We all seem to hold
To Something we don't see
Is He here
Is He there
Where does He live
Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat
Some people say in the mind of a stranger
I can't explain what it is I believe in
So take your heart take your mind and escape
Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me trying to raise your little children
Is it me trying to take your little flame
Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away
Let me scream let me scream let me scream
Don't take it away
Another day in the arms of the real thing
Another day in the eyes of a fool
I called today just to make me feel hopeless
Lie to me and I'll try to believe
Let It Breathe lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Could we do it again
If he asked how it felt
And I didn't say this time
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
That means not a thing
'Cause I'm down behind you
Could we swing it again
If I changed how he looked
And turned to the right to bend
You live with something that I can't explain
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining
You feel things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me.
Just let it breathe
If the moon goes up tomorrow and I'm down on a farm
And you don't believe whose writing with me
Keep your hands to yourself
Keep your mind to yourself
Keep your breath to yourself
Let me float on by you
You see things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see
You don't want to be me
I don't want to be you
It's so very necessary
It's so delectable to see a stone
It's so impossible to find a reason
When you're standing there
Watching me now
Could we live it again
If we dressed just the same
And held on to lovers when
We couldn't really live with anyone
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying
You feel things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for someone that I can't see
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe
Silly Little Pop Song lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
One thing's for sure
I just can't find the way
To let it seem like all is wrong
Inside my den
Hold back
Breathe easy
She said to me
Go somewhere and change your mind
Just let me sleep
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
Is it anger at life
Or are you happy to be with me
Are you seeing someone
Or will your faith
Go with no other man
Come on
Let me dream
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry 'bout all the lying
Please just come inside
It's a thing
To make me want to go
See another
That makes me doubt
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry about all the lyin'
All the changing
Please just come inside
Fool lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Saw you last night
you were sleeping in my mind
Doubting you'll ever be free again
Then I climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go"
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain
I think I better grow up now or go insane
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many things I can be
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Can't write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she's watching me
Saying "Boy carry your load"
Oh I don't want to go back on the road now
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many places to see
And faces I can read
There's just so many things I can be
When I'm Lonely lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Eyes like an infant
Staring me down
She'll take anything that's tied up
In my glorious past
It's just 4 days 'til Sunday
When I say that I'm gone
Little one screams you cry
Tell the pain to leave me alone
It's just 2 days 'til Monday
Another week 'til the 4th
Is anyone listening or
Should I call on the Lord
Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with lies when I'm lonely
Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m.
It wasn't you so I let her in
Just to see what she wanted
She left screaming because I called her by your name
But the next day she came to call
And we finished our game
Alright now
Some days I breathe
Some days I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with time when I'm lonely
Shep plays piano down in
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood
You said he wasn't your type
But you went anyway
You left screamin' cause you thought you would
Call him by my name
Ah and you whisper
Why do I do this
I can't go through this why do I do this, why
Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with life when I'm lonely
She Crawls Away lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
I fall in she sees me and smiles
Then she starts to hate herself again
She screams something under her breath
That I wouldn't know if she said it outloud
She turns over to start a conversation
With a man that noone else can see
She dreams of loving me sometimes
And it makes me see what we've been missing
It's like I never knew anyone so strong before
She Brings the man outa me
And she makes me see that they don't matter
I believe
We see her playin' with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
She wears white pants a Miami sweater
Says that She loves the O's
So Uncle Dean will come by
Her smile is like sunshine
Her tears hurt like leather
She runs the show she lets me know
Says it's all about being the only
It's like someone said you could have one good thing in your life
She couldn't be your type
I didn't plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin'
I believe, we see her layin with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
Where were you yesterday
Now that my heart is wild and free
And my lips have room to wander
How can I say your needing me now
When I've got a plan
I know you don't understand why my heart is sorry know
I believe
We see her laying with another
She runs around you and then
it's like the sun goes down and she crawls
I believe
We see her waiting with another
She runs around you and then
it's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
So Strange lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
It's so hard to breathe right now
Living things without a friend of mine
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind
You thought you could feel
And it's maybe 6 a.m.
And no one wants to be with me
So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well
Ohh, I'm free
If I can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and we'll see our troubles away
You make me feel so strange
Won't you let me breathe the air
I want to hold on to right now
Won't you let me read a book about
Someone's queen who came back for me
I see bridges in my eyes
I see mornings left for the children
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away
And it makes me scream and I pray
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and I'll see our troubles away
You make me feel so
It can never end 'cause we don't speak
It will never just die
So why don't you call the man
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our little troubles away
You make me feel so strange
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our troubles away
Tootie lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
You put a rose in my hand
Put a dollar in my pocket
But you don't understand
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
I see the morning but you won't see the light
I thought about you for a long, long time
I wrote about you but my words don't seem to rhyme
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you
Had a dream about you
You sat right down beside me
And you told me we were through
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
You brought me to the window
And you taught me how to fly
I thought about you for a long, long time
I said I love you but we just don't have the time
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
You said I love you but my heart won't seem to chime in
And now you're lying here
And my heart still beats for you...I'm trying, and my heart still beats for you
The Sad Caper lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So I'll just lay me down
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
Do you really want to play these games
Just to keep things going
Or are you ready now to let it be
It's like sometimes you want to see the rain
But the sun gets in your eyes
And you want to die now
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
So let me hold you down
Never let me down I swore to you
But now I lied
I'm here to make it all seem worth while
You want I know
But I'll have to try
To find a way to make me quiet now
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing, so let me turn around
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
So won't you hunt her down
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So I'll just lay me down
Tucker's Town lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me
Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to
He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but she's watching me leave
Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now
Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population
She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here
To see the world through your Rosy glasses
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed
I don't know....
What I can't see....
I don't know
What I can't see
Hannah Jane lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
You got your big girl
Now you've got your young one too
Wondering if some day I could have them
the way I once had you
I remember your crazy remarks
We'd get drunk and go out after dark
Searching for someone we could take home
[Chorus:]
You don't wanna be alone
You don't want to see the sun go down
You don't wanna open the door and see her go
One step and tomorrow comes
Two steps and she's off with someone
Three steps and it's all you know
You'll be gone, she'll be gone
So what are you gonna do about me
I'll be there when you have no one else
I'll be there, be your friend
Hold on strong, don't let go
There will never be no one to take your place
So don't you want to reach out and take my hand
[Repeat chorus]
Hold My Hand lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
With a little love, and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
We'll take the world together
We'll take 'em by the hand
'Cause I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
We'll take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, 'cause
'Cause I've got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Won't you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
'Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I don't wanna be part of your problems
Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no
'Cause I've got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Ah, won't you let me run with you?
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can't change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...Oh...No, No, No, No, No
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can't change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, The best that I can
Let Her Cry lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
She sits alone
By a lamp post
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dar's the one
I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind
She never lets me in
Only tell me where's she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away and just...
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, let her be.
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standin' by the phone
Saying maybe, maybe I'll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in
I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself saying...
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, let her be.
[Solo]
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, oh, oh.
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried
Yelling oh mama please help me
Won't you hold my hand and...
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, oh, oh.
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, oh, let her be.
Only Wanna Be With You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
You and me
We come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me
When I look at other girls
Sometimes you're crazy
And you wonder why
I'm such a baby
'Cause the Dolphins make me cry
Well, there's nothing I can do
I've been looking for a girl like you
You look at me, you got nothing left to say
I'm gonna pout at you until I get my way
I won't dance, you won't sing
I just wanna love you, but you wanna wear my ring
Well, there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
I only wanna be with you
Put on a little Dylan
Sitting on a fence
I say, "That line is great."
You ask me what it meant by
"Said I shot a man named Gray
Took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky"
I only wanna be with you
Ain't Bobby so cool?
I only wanna be with you
Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you
Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end
You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Sometimes you're crazy
And you wonder why
I'm such a baby, yeah
The Dolphins make me cry
Well, there's nothing I can do
Only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
I only wanna be with you
Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you
Running From An Angel lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
Come on try and tell me what you're talkin about
Those things you're dealing with, you're living a lie
Every time I see you it makes me wanna cry
Sometimes we'd laugh and talk, seems like yesterday
Then you let the white horse come and take you away
They came to get you, it was cold and black
The wheels were in motion, there was no turning back
[Chorus:]
Running from and angel, runnin to the devil
I looked up to you a long time ago
But there's something I want you to know
Your lying and cheating really tore us apart
Please don't come home if you're gonna break my momma's heart
[Chorus]
[Ad lib (over solo section)]
[Chorus]
[Ad lib (over outro)]
I'm Going Home lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Mama please don't go
Won't you stay here for one more day
I've been your boy for so long now
There's so much I still have to say
Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing
[Chorus:]
Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home.
Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home.
Something inside makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy
He'll be alright, he's by my side
He's no little boy, he's my pride and joy
[Repeat chorus]
Summer on the radio and the phone rings
And it was Jeanette
She said boy we had to let her go
I begged her no, no not yet
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
I guess it's part of someone's master plan
I see you laughing, you're my best friend
You're the light of the lamb, and I cried
as the angels sing
[Repeat chorus twice]
Drowning lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right
Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place
Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see
P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They're just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit
[chorus:]
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don't look like you
Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?
Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand
[chorus]
I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
No I'm not like you
Why do you hate me so
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
Time lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave crashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams
Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of a rag
Time, take their red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
If I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down to sleep
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
Time, you ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm goin'
I think I'm outta my mind
Walkin', wastin' you ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm goin' oh no, no, no
Time without courage
And power without faith
Is just wasted, wasted, wasted time
Time, why you punish me?
Look Away lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
I asked her what it was
She looked away and said my daddy's home.
I knew what that meant
It meant that I could never see her again
I had seen this once before
I didn't wanna deal with it anymore
Look away she said, as she turned to me
And when I tried to hold her, I couldn't let her be
Let her be, Let her be
I said why, why do you make me cry
She said I love you so, Look away I don't wanna know
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something's wrong
I said what baby
she looked away and said my daddy's home
Look away she said, and she turned to me
but darling, oh I loved her, couldn't let her be
Let her be, Let her be
Look away, she said I love you so, Look Away.
Not Even The Trees lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come
Or will you laugh at me
Or will I run
Little boy says to me,
"Where you goin' now son"
I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
I only know where I'm from"
And it makes me wonder
If the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brothers heart cry
I don't know
I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me
Cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again
Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
I'm tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder
When I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything
Are you trying to talk to me
I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me are you feeling alone
Someone tell me what to do
'Cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
Do you realize my pain is for real
I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you're looking down at me
And smiling right now
I wanna know if it's true
When he looks at me
Won't you tell me
Does he realize he came down here
And he took you too soon
And now my days are short an my nights are long
I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
Will I see your face again
Tell me, do you care
I'm a stranger in my home
Living life on my own
Right now I just can't see
'Cause i'm feeling weak
And my sould begins to bleed
And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
Won't Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Won't Be Home For Christmas
Dear Santa Claus
I write to you because
I don't want toys this year
I just want my daddy here
He's gone to fight in the war
He's a Sgt. in the Corp
My mommy says he makes
The world a safer place
But I'm scared for him now 'cause he's not coming home for Christmas
We will talk on the phone but he won't be home for Christmas
Season's greetings flow across the radio
Dear family, hang in there with me
It's hard to rest at ease this Christmas overseas
Artificial green and red the blood we've seen
We have God on our side, but we won't be home for Christmas
When the fighting subsides all the angels will sing
Sha la la la, Sha la la la
'Til then tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ol' Christmas tree
'Cause I'm not coming home, no I won't be home for Christmas
Freedom's why we're here
Freedom from our fear
Isn't anybody free that let's another be
I pray your angels around those who won't be home for Christmas
And everybody will sing for the birth of the king
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
And if it's this time next year, and we're still here
Let an angel appear
Where the dust never clears
'Cause I'm not comin' home oh, I wanna go home
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
'Til then tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ol' Christmas tree
'Cause I'm not coming home,oh I wanna come home for Christmas
Goodbye lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away.
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand, not mine,
holding onto yours because I could not find the time.
Now I can't deny
nothing lasts forever
I don't want to leave
and I see the tear drops in your eyes
I don't want to live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes another part of life that I call alone
sitting at a bar with Chris
and I can't leave 'cause my house ain't no home, no.
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now
and walk away so easily.
So maybe while you're young
We'll figure out together
that even with the pain, there's a remedy
and we'll be all right
I don't want to live to see the day we say goodbye.
When I first met you I couldn't love anyone
but you stole my dreams and you made me see
that I can walk under the sun
and I can still be me
and now I can't deny nothing lasts forever.
But I don't want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby while we're young let's figure out together
that even with the pain there's a remedy
and we'll be all right.
I don't want to live to see the day we say goodbye,
we say goodbye, oh goodbye, goodbye.
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away.
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand, not mine,
holding onto yours because I could not find the time.
Now I can't deny
nothing lasts forever
I don't want to leave
and I see the tear drops in your eyes
I don't want to live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes another part of life that I call alone
sitting at a bar with Chris
and I can't leave 'cause my house ain't no home, no.
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now
and walk away so easily.
So maybe while you're young
We'll figure out together
that even with the pain, there's a remedy
and we'll be all right
I don't want to live to see the day we say goodbye.
When I first met you I couldn't love anyone
but you stole my dreams and you made me see
that I can walk under the sun
and I can still be me
and now I can't deny nothing lasts forever.
But I don't want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby while we're young let's figure out together
that even with the pain there's a remedy
and we'll be all right.
I don't want to live to see the day we say goodbye,
we say goodbye, oh goodbye, goodbye.
